Annie, This is a giant one! It makes each year branches between 2 and 5 metres. The first years i thought it would die, but it slowly addapted. Now it's yet over the rooftop towards the other side of the house. Last week i heard on TV that it needs no cutting at all.

You got it!!!! They put up a huge balcony, and they are above us, it is not legal in our community or many others to build one so close to a fence!!!! Probably for privacy issues. They do tend to stare when we're out there! Gads.....
